2. Connecting to a DVR:
   • Connect the camera's BNC video output cable to an available video input port on your DVR.
   • Connect the camera's power input cable to a DC12V power adapter (not included).
   • Ensure your DVR is powered on and connected to a monitor.
3. Switching Video Modes (AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS):

   The camera's default mode is AHD. If your DVR system uses HD-TVI or HD-CVI, you must switch the camera to the corresponding mode. This is done using the toggle switch on the camera's pigtail cable.

   • Locate the small yellow label on the pigtail cable, which indicates the video mode switch.
   • Press and hold the switch for approximately 5 seconds to cycle through the available video modes (AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS).
   • Release the switch when the desired mode is selected. The camera will automatically adjust.
   • If no picture is displayed or image quality is poor, ensure the camera mode matches your DVR system.
4. Accessing Camera Menu via DVR (OSD Control):

   To adjust advanced camera settings such as brightness, contrast, saturation, mirror, or flip, you can access the camera's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu through your XENOCAM DVR.

   • Connect the camera to your XENOCAM DVR and ensure it is displaying video.
   • Access your DVR's camera menu or OSD control interface. (Refer to your DVR's manual for specific instructions).
   • Navigate through the menu options to adjust settings like 'MIRROR' (to flip the image horizontally) or 'FLIP' (to flip vertically).
   • Save and exit the menu after making adjustments.

5. Operating the Camera

Once installed and connected to a compatible DVR, the XENOCAM camera operates continuously, providing surveillance footage. The camera automatically switches to infrared night vision in low-light conditions, ensuring 24/7 monitoring.

• Continuous Recording: The camera will record based on the settings configured in your connected DVR.
• Night Vision: The integrated IR LEDs activate automatically in low light, providing clear black and white video up to 33 feet.
• Mode Switching: Remember to set the camera to the correct video mode (AHD, TVI, CVI, or CVBS) to match your DVR for optimal performance.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your security camera:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or smudges that may affect image clarity. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Weather Protection: Although the camera is IP66 weatherproof, ensure it is installed in a location that minimizes direct exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, direct prolonged sunlight) to extend its lifespan.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly check all cables for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your XENOCAM security camera, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Picture or Poor Image Quality:
  • Verify that the camera is receiving power (DC12V).
  • Ensure the video cable is securely connected to both the camera and the DVR.
  • Check if the camera's video mode (AHD, TVI, CVI, CVBS) matches the input channel setting on your DVR. Adjust using the pigtail switch if necessary.
  • If the image is distorted or flickering, try restoring the camera to factory settings via the DVR's OSD menu.
• Night Vision Not Working:
  • Ensure there is sufficient power to the camera.
  • Check for any obstructions blocking the IR LEDs.
  • Verify that the camera's day/night settings in the OSD menu are configured correctly for automatic switching.
